Yamaha TX802

Despite its name, the TX802 FM Tone Generator is basically a rack-module
version of the DX7mkII with full 8-part
multi-timbral operation for sequencing and/or key mapping. It has
16-voices of polyphony and six digital FM Operators, the same as in the
DX7mkII. There are 128 preset and 64 user patches for your sounds, as
well as an external memory cartridge slot.

As if the large keyboard DX versions weren't difficult enough to
program, the TX802's limited interface makes editing and programming
your own sounds next to impossible without the help of external hardware
or software editors. In the late 1980's, the TX802 was an excellent way
to get a compact box full of Yamaha's DX sounds.
